Mayor Murray receives Education Summit recommendations

11/17/201655:17

The Mayor's Education Summit Advisory Group, comprised of 32 representatives from Seattle Public Schools, the City of Seattle, community leaders, parents, business and philanthropy, presents a set of recommendations aimed at ensuring all Seattle students are set up for academic success, post-secondary education and future careers, with an emphasis on improving outcomes for African American/Black students. These recommendations reflect the mission laid out by Mayor Ed Murray earlier this year to address the opportunity gap in our schools, and the Advisory Group's "north star," which envisions "a city where all children of all races and ethnicities can thrive and succeed."
